SUMMARY:CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING: Assam NRC  —  Stripping Muslims of Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Genocide Watch has declared that Assam’s 14 million Muslims are at the 8th Stage of the ’10 Stages of Genocide’. The Assam Government has already declared half a million Muslims as non-citizens on the basis of a dubious and Islamophobic citizenship determination and wants to “reverify” that list only to add millions of more Muslims. The process of proving citizenship in under-qualified “foreigner tribunals”, the denial of citizenship on the most absurd and arbitrary criteria, the refusal to reconsider such denial despite overwhelming evidence of miscarriage of justice, are all adding up to create one of history’s biggest mass persecution.\n \nOn Wednesday, October 6, Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) and several other human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Hindus for Human Rights will organise a Congressional Briefing on the blatant discrimination being carried out against millions of Muslims in Assam state which, if not stopped now, will, without doubt, turn into mass statelessness, stripping them of their citizenship rights and creating an unparalleled humanitarian crisis.\n \nThe panelists at this Congressional Briefing are:\nAman Wadud, Fulbright Fellow at the University of Texas School of Law\nSiddhartha Deb, Award-winning author-journalist\nAbhishek Saha, Journalist, The Indian Express\nNadeem Khan, Founding Member, United Against Hate\n \nSome important stories to read on Assam NRC\nThe New York Times: ‘They Are Manufacturing Foreigners’: How India Disenfranchises Muslims\nTIME: India’s Anti-Immigrant Crackdown Has Torn Apart Families and Locked Up Hundreds. 1.9 Million People Fear They Could Be Next\nBBC: Assam NRC: Are India’s ‘unwanted people’ being driven to suicide?\nForeign Policy: The Great Indian Disenfranchisement\nThe Washington Post: In a corner of India, 2 million risk becoming stateless after release of final citizenship list\n
